PL Predictions: Liverpool to suffer title hiccup at Brighton

Let our tipster Jones Knows guide your through a busy Premier League weekend with his array of insight, analysis, tips and predictions. Brighton vs Liverpool, Saturday 12.30pm

When plotting their way through the run-in, Liverpool fans will have had a circle around this fixture as a potential hiccup.

Even though they have won just three of their last 23 matches (90 minutes only) and head into this one on the back of four straight defeats, Brighton are a fiddly team for the big boys to negotiate their way past.

In their last 26 games against teams that finished in the top nine of the Premier League last season, Brighton have only lost four games by more than one goal. Included in that run is a 1-0 win at Anfield, a 1-1 draw with Klopp's men at the Amex last season and the 2-2 draw from earlier this campaign. They should be able to land the odds with a +2 handicap.

Brighton's shots line is also worth a look. In five fixtures against Liverpool, Brighton have posted shot totals that read: 11, 13, 12, 12 and nine. Potter's men play through the lines quickly when given the chance and despite Liverpool having a very solid defensive record, space is afforded to the opposition as exploited by West Ham last weekend. They had 13 at Anfield and I'll be surprised if Brighton don't get into double figures.

And why not throw in some Brighton offsides for good measure? Liverpool's offside trap is a thing of beauty and although the markets have aligned their algorithms to the amount of opposition offsides in recent weeks, the 8/15 on Brighton to be caught offside three or more times should land when looking at the averages. Klopp's men have caught teams offside 3.9 times per 90
